Hi everyone, Sorry for the short notice, but we were supposed to have the Rya working group today. Time: 12 PM EST Call in: 18885981409; 7483409#
For an agenda, I was thinking that we could discuss what is remaining for the release and see if someone can claim responsibility for finishing up the final steps. Hope everyone can make it -- again sorry for the short notice!
